The Rampage came close to ending their losing streak Saturday night at the AT&T Center, but came up short in a shootout, a 3-2 setback to Abbotsford that included AHL goaltending history.

The Rampage were 13.7 seconds away from snapping their six-game winless streak, but a late Abbotsford goal tied the game in regulation. The Heat scored the game-winner in the 11th round of the shootout.

The Rampage are now 0-5-0-2 since a 2-0 win over Oklahoma City Nov. 4.

"We're finding different ways (to lose)," said Rampage coach Chuck Weber. "It's like trying to turn around a big battleship right now."

The ship was on the right course when the Rampage broke through on Heat goaltender Barry Brust with two goals in the second period by James Wright and Quinton Howden.

Brust set an AHL-goaltending record by shutting down the Rampage in the first period, breaking a scoreless streak of 249 minutes, 51 seconds set by Hall of Fame goaltender Johnny Bower — a record that stood 55 years. Brust's streak ended at 268:17 when Wright beat him on a power play rebound with 3:24 left in the second period.

"That's a pretty amazing feat to accomplish, all the credit to him" said Wright, only the second player to score on Brust in over four games.

"For me, it was just a goal to get our team tied."

The tie lasted only 1:35 when Howden, a 2010 first-round pick by Florida, got through Heat defenders down the left wing, including Brust, and put the puck into an empty net for a 2-1 Rampage lead.

"We finally saw some of the speed he possesses," Weber said of Howden.

The Rampage didn't exactly test Brust in the first period, getting outshot 9-3 in the first 20 minutes. And they were outshot 17-6 at the halfway point of the game.

Goaltender Jacob Markstrom had another stellar effort in net, coming up with some big stops until the offense got untracked, making 30 saves.

"His last two starts were solid," said Weber. "For us to right the ship, we're gonna need him and (Dov Grumet-Morris) to lead the way," said Weber.

The Rampage (4-9-0-3) have been outshot in all but one game this season and currently have the worst record in the AHL.
